Ingredients

½ lb prosciutto, sliced (bacon may be substituted)
½ (8 oz) pkg lite cream cheese, softened
12 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed

3. Blanche asparagus in boiling water for 1-2 min. then immerse in ice water.
4. Spread prosciutto slices with cream cheese. Wrap slices around 2 or 3 asparagus spears.
